High Blood Pressure Insider : New Online Service Shows How Lifestyle Changes Can Lower Your Blood Pressure
Online, February 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - High Blood Pressure Insider is the newly launched online service with a unique dedication to helping its clients maintain their blood pressure at healthy levels. High Blood Pressure Insider demonstrates its commitment to its clients by offering a wide range of services and materials, including advice on maintaining an ideal body weight through healthy eating and improving exercise levels, and stress management.
The American Heart Association warns us that even though high blood pressure typically has no symptoms, it can have deadly health consequences if not treated. Since it usually has no symptoms some people only learn that they have high blood pressure after it causes health problems, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, or kidney failure. It's believed that one third of those with high blood pressure don't yet know it.
Since high blood pressure can only be detected by routine screening there is a great need to increase awareness of its dangers.
Draft guidelines published today by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend that new approaches should be used to treat and diagnose high blood pressure.
The proposed changes include lending patients a monitor device to be worn at home for 24 hours to confirm blood pressure, and using revised criteria to decide when a patient should be given medication.
High Blood Pressure Insider supports the NICE recommendations. Recognizing the need for increased public awareness of the dangers of living with permanently elevated blood pressure, High Blood Pressure Insider has decided to help fill this need by offering online advice to demonstrate how the need for medication can be mitigated by changes to a person's lifestyle.
The Lancet medical journal recently reported that, due to unhealthy modern lifestyles, the number of sufferers is expected to hit 1.56 billion by 2025, up from 972 million in 2000. One in four adults already has the condition, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and death.
High Blood Pressure Insider is an online service dedicated to improving awareness of the dangers of high blood pressure. High Blood Pressure Insider offers advice and resources on a variety of topics all geared to increase their clients odds of maintaining normal blood pressure levels.
